Look 1
Honestly, we’ve never met a Monikh look we didn’t like. Her pared-back, minimalist aesthetic is perennially chic, but really comes into its own in summer. Case in point: this chocolate brown linen co-ord from Faithfull The Brand. Perfect over a bikini on the beach and in the beach bar afterwards.

Comfy, throw-on pieces are key for long, lazy days on the beach. Make like seasoned traveller Jessie Bush and pair wafty linen trousers with a cute summer top in this season’s favourite buttery yellow shade.

Some beach looks rely on well-chosen accessories, and Katie Maguire’s boat day look gains full marks. Take a classic white one-piece and add French Riviera-inspired pieces, from statement oversized white sunglasses to a nautical silk scarf and a roomy raffia bag.

Lisbon-based style influencer Mafalda Patricio always hits the sweet spot between chic and a little off-beat. Steal her style by pairing a classic red swimsuit with a timeless crochet or Broderie beach cover-up, then layer on a few quirky accessories for a playful touch.

Look 5
We have loved the white maxi skirt trend that’s everywhere this season, and it’s proving to be one of our most versatile summer pieces. Whether you wear it with a baggy back-print tee like a Scandi girl or with a bra top and woven accessories like a true island girl, there’s room for one in everyone’s summer wardrobe.

The sarong skirt remains a huge trend for SS25, both on and off the beach. We love it best with sand between our toes over a simple bikini – we’re currently obsessed with Aussie swimwear brand Peony, seen here on a glowing India Cardona, for a flattering and cool cover-up. As you head from shore to lunch at a beach club, layer up with raffia accessories and a boho blouse for a chic, seamless look.
